“Members in the transportation office of the White House have assured me that the Second Avenue Subway made the cut and is on the first list of infrastructure priorities for the new administration," Rep. Maloney said Thursday. Her district includes parts of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens.

The Second Avenue subway currently stops at three stations between 65th and 96th streets. Future expansion will extend the line north to 125th Street and south to Houston Street.

Though the White House did not confirm its local infrastructure plans, the MTA has $1 billion to begin the line’s expansion to Harlem, which would include new stations at 106th and 116th streets and stops at existing stations at Lexington Avenue and 125th Street.

President Donald Trump has spoken about possibly spending $1 trillion on infrastructure around the country, and Maloney feels positive some of that funding will come to his hometown.

“It seems to be an area that Democrats, Republicans and the administration are united on, so it should be easier to move,” she said.
